It’s been hit with the loss of federal funding, but like climate change, @grizzlycorps isn’t going anywhere. Launched by the Project Climate Program at UC Berkeley Law’s Center for Law, Energy & the Environment (@cleeberkeley) in partnership with @californiavolunteers and @americorps, the program connects the university directly with communities across the state. “We started GrizzlyCorps because of the needs of rural communities and their essential role in responding to climate change. That need and role hasn’t changed,” adds Project Climate Director Ken Alex. “We are committed to the program and will find a way to continue. We are grateful for the support of the Chancellor and the law school and the connection to UC Berkeley.” #UCBerkeleyLaw #EnvironmentalJustice #GrizzlyCorps #AmeriCorps #ClimateLeadership
